You might be finding yourself stuck in a pattern that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. Together we can explore these patterns and work to get you unstuck. The logical part of you might be able to identify what it would look like to calmly set boundaries or to be compassionate toward yourself. But then…you’re in it, emotion comes on strong, and you find yourself pulled back in the same old pattern. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, cared for and empowered to create new patterns that feel better suited to the life you want.
A native Oregonian, I grew up in Eastern Oregon and completed a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Oregon. I then earned a Master’s of Social Work at Portland State University and have called Portland home ever since. I have over 10 years experience in the mental health field and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Oregon. I practice from an attachment based approach, primarily utilizing the evidence based modalities of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
